Council prequalifies engineering firms and approves WSB contract amendment for bond support
Summary
Council approved a three‑year prequalified list of general engineering consultants and approved a WSB contract amendment of up to $448,175 to support bond-program management and direct project costs, staff said.
Council approved the staff recommendation to post a list of prequalified general engineering consultants (RFQ 24‑148) to streamline procurement for capital projects; firms that scored above the staff threshold will remain on the list for three years. The prequalification list is intended to allow staff to match specialized firms to future projects without conducting a separate procurement for every item.
Council also considered an amendment to the existing bond-program management services agreement with WSB. Staff said the amendment adds up to $448,175 to cover continued program management services and direct project costs such as right-of-way support and subsurface utility engineering; staff noted the amount remains under the administration cap tied to the bond issuance. Council members asked about the portion of amendment funds that cover new projects versus original scope and were told some direct costs were included to avoid separate procurements; the council voted to approve the amendment.
